IN THIS EPISODE: Time is thought to be unstoppable. The past is gone -- and the future is unknown.  Or is it? (The Mystery of Time Slips) *** You may know them as tiny statues in your garden, but real gnomes are said to be fantastical creatures that harbor the secrets of the elements of the Earth. (Supernatural Gnomes) *** Mrs. Meiar was amiable and lived peaceably with her neighbors, but Christian—known locally as Devil Meiar—was regarded as the wickedest man in Ripley County, Indiana. (Righteous Retribution) *** So, what was it? An overactive imagination? A ghost? A succubus? What happened to this woman’s boyfriend? (My Boyfriend’s Ghostly Lover) *** For four months the hills of L.A. were littered with the bodies of women and girls aged 12 to 28. It was the work of two insatiable killers, though they were recognized as a single monster one and the same: the Hillside Strangler. (Horror of the Hillside Stranglers)
